Dear St. Benedict the Moor Family,

It is with great joy that I bring you the following update:

The guidelines for the “Public Celebration of Mass and Holy Communion Outside of Mass” has been revised.
All are welcome to attend Mass on Saturday or Sunday. There is no capacity restriction. This allows us to now open all pews.  It is still suggested that you keep 3 feet distance between yourself and other parishioners. At the Sign of Peace, please use hand gestures, such as a bow or wave. Hand shaking should be avoided. Hand sanitizer will still be available as you enter and exit the church. The use of masks while gathered indoors is not required for fully vaccinated individuals and is recommended for non-vaccinated individuals.

For further information, please visit the Archdiocesan website at the link below:

May God continue to richly bless you.
Fr. Michal
